Frequently Asked Questions

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE?

Destination Church has established a Saved One Fund for the purpose of providing short-term financial assistance to individuals or regular attendees. This fund is designed to assist with financial needs up to the amount of $100.00.

Assistance from the church will take into account the use of one’s personal resources, including family assistance (such as parents, children, relatives, etc.) as well as their local church community network (such as a small group, area community, etc.).

Any approved funds will be made payable to the provider of the service. No money will be given directly to the individual.

DOES MY SITUATION QUALIFY FOR THIS ASSISTANCE?

Wise stewardship dictates that assistance be extended when unexpected and serious circumstances develop, creating a hardship in which the health, safety or welfare of one or more members of the household is directly affected. Typically, these hardships are the result of a job loss, an accident, illness or death in the immediate family.

Examples of eligible expenses may include but are not limited to:

  • Funeral expenses
  • Monthly bills – Rent/Mortgage, Utilities, etc.
  • Medical bills not covered by insurance for necessary, non-elective medical treatment
  • Relocation to another residence because of fire, flood, or domestic violence

Examples of expenses that are typically NOT eligible include, but are not limited to:

  • Attorney fees
  • Reimbursement for unpaid sick time
  • Tuition expenses
  • Income/Property taxes
  • Bail Money
  • Credit card debt
  • Bill consolidation loans
  • Car payments/insurance/repairs
  • Repayment of loans to family/friends
  • Home repairs or relocation to another residence (unless it is a result of a fire, flood, domestic violence or other catastrophic event)
